A flat in Lancaster was the most expensive house sold in Lancashire last month.

The property on Market Street sold for £470,250 - one of only three properties with a sale over the £400,000 mark as the housing market took a big hit as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

A semi-detached house in Ellel, Lancaster sold for £420,000 while the next biggest sale was in Ewood Bridge, Rossendale at £405,000.

On the flip side, a terraced house in Burnley was the cheapest house sold across the whole of England and Wales costing £19,000.

According to the Land Registry, 5,176 home sales have been registered from March - that’s barely a third of the number, 16,042, registered at the same point last month.

The drop is believed to be due to a combination of the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on both house sales and on the registration of sales.

The Government issued guidance on March 26 advising people to delay house moves if at all possible during the lockdown period, meaning that some sales that were due to complete in March will not have gone ahead.

The Land Registry has also warned that its services are likely to be disrupted due to the pandemic, particularly the process of registering a new sale, which likely means a longer delay between the house sale completing and the record being updated at the Land Registry.

No sales after March 23 have so far been registered in England and Wales, and just one on that day, probably a combination of a drop in house moves after lockdown and registrations taking longer.

Based on the March data so far, across England and Wales, there were 100 £1m or more sales, including 21 at £2m or more.

The most expensive property sold was in Kensington and Chelsea for £8m.

The Land Registry lists the price paid for every property bought at market value.

The data also includes sales under a power of sale/repossessions, buy-to-lets (where they can be identified by a mortgage) and transfers to non-private individuals.

It may take several weeks for sales to be registered after completion so some sales from later in February may not be listed yet.

As the data relies on buyers, or their solicitors, registering the sale and the price paid with the Land Registry, mistakes in listings can happen although they are usually corrected at a later date.
